Just more bureaucracy that will make little actual difference - apart from costs and wasted time.

What on Earth are you talking about? It's you who needs to be clear about what it is you want to say before posting.
Also, what taxpayers money are you talking about? Ofcom nor Instagram are funded by general taxation, but even if it was, i'm sure that most right thinking people would support initiatives to help to keep children safe online.

Various posts edited or removed.
There are no Woke Police on this site, just Admins & Mods.
We have no time for people who want to get "offended" for the sake of it.
If it bothers anyone, you know where the exit is, feel free to leave at any time.
Back to the topic please.

Ad revenue, is paid for by suppliers of a product. This is paid from earnings for that product. That is brought by Joe public, ergo as with all things you pay for it , sales , taxes, all come out of your pocket I give up it is really a money tree
